What is TOO damp? & Eating issues.

[Churro]

New & somewhat clueless snake owner here. I made up a brick of Eco earth for Churro's tank the other day, and this stuff does not want to dry down. I mean, I know it shouldn't be dead dry, but it's very very moist. I want her to be comfortable.

My friend says, she's the same as the wild snakes around her & since it's pouring rain outside, Churro shouldn't mind it being really damp. But, I wouldn't want to be in it. Would she? So, I figured you all would know. She's in a critter keeper right know while I have all the eco earth laid out & a fan on it. The room I'm in is noticeably much more humid now that I'm doing this.

I'm switching over to eco earth because she was just NOT eating when on paper, but she was eating when using eco earth before (she came with it, it was dry though). I got to get her to eat. It's been a solid month. I even danced the little thawed & hair dryer heated mouse in front of her in hopes she just needed a dinner show or something first. No sores on her mouth. She LOOKS fine. But, is very "don't wanna" with eating. It's like getting a toddler to eat veggies!

Edit to add: she's not been in the krater keeper more than a few hours!
